ONES TO WATCH

The world's greatest ultra-endurance mountain race naturally attracts world-class talent from across the globe. Needless to say, Montane Athletes can rarely resist such a seductive call!

TOM HOLLINS

A recent addition to the Montane Athlete roster. Winner of the 2017 Montane Spine Race with a time of 99:25 and recently completing the first solo Double Bob Graham. He should be perfectly conditioned to the distance, elevation, and fatigue.

JENN GASKELL

A Montane Athlete since 2009, Jenn is something of a veteran when it comes to the Tor Des Géants, having already competed twice and finishing in a competitive 115:09. In recent years she has worked on her pacing in longer races, saving more energy for the tougher later stages.

PABLO CRIADO TOCA

A recent Montane Athlete, Pablo has a taste for long, mountainous races. Finishing 10th at this years' Montane Spine Race despite challenging conditions with a time of 135:24 will have him in good steading.

TERRY CONWAY

Joining the Montane Athlete team earlier this year after a prolonged hiatus due to injury, Terry is poised to make up for lost time. Despite this break his MONTANE Lakeland 100 course record still stands at 19:50.

JULIO CERDUNA ALDECOA

Julio is immensely experienced in the mountains, and organises his own race and running club. He came 10th in the 2016 TDG, though an unfortunate DNF in 2017 leaves him keen to make an impact this year.
